Abstract
We present a calculation of the cold nuclear matter effect on inclusive production of J/ψ in d+A and A+A collisions in the framework of the gluon saturation/CGC approach. Our model is based on the observation that the leading production mechanism involves odd number of inelastic interactions with the nuclei. Our numerical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data in the case of d+Au collisions. However, in Au+Au collisions the cold nuclear matter effect is not suffcient to describe the data.
